Butterflies Day 11


Pretty amazing. In a matter of hours we watched 6-7 of the little buggers climb up to the top and make their cocoons, all at the same time. It was as if someone rang a bell in there and they all said, "OK, time to go!" As you can see, one little guy is a bit behind the rest, hes been hanging, but no cocoon yet. We are excited for him to 'wrap it up' so we can transfer them to the habitat. This is likely the last pic you will see of the little plastic cups...

Isn't it interesting how they get rid of the last 1/4 inch of their body when they form the chrysalis?

"Daddy, I think mine has a little baby!"

I was like, "(How do I explain to her what that really is...)"
